Spine & Rehab Specialists

What Spine & Rehab Specialists does

Spine & Rehab Specialists is a private, founder-owned physical therapy practice headquartered in El Paso, Texas, operating two clinic locations — one at 6358 Edgemere Blvd. and one at 11855 Physicians Dr. — under the leadership of co-founders Harry Koster (PT, OCS, Cert. MDT) and Bonnie Heredia-Koster (ATC/LAT/MA). Founded in 1998, the practice delivers outpatient physical therapy services to individual patients across use cases including sports injury treatment, back pain and sciatica relief, chronic pain management, post-surgical rehabilitation, aquatic therapy, concussion management, neurological conditions (stroke, MS), and workers' compensation return-to-work programs. Texas direct-access law enables patient self-referral without physician authorization, supporting a direct-to-consumer go-to-market.

The practice differentiates on a stack of capital-intensive rehabilitation equipment uncommon for a sub-10-employee clinic: the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill and Multi Cervical Unit at the Edgemere site, the HydroWorx 500 heated aquatic therapy pool at the Physicians site, plus Biodex Balance System and REPEX at both locations. Additional modalities include the FDA-cleared NEUBIE direct-current neuromuscular stimulator, Functional Dry Needling, EMG/NCS electrophysiologic testing, and musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging. The clinical team carries a dense certification stack (multiple McKenzie MDT-credentialed therapists, OCS, ECS, RMSK, FMSK designations), and founding principal Harry Koster holds adjunct UTEP DPT faculty and EIM Orthopedic Manual Therapy Fellow-in-Training positions.

Commercially, Spine & Rehab Specialists generates revenue primarily through insurance-billed outpatient PT services across most major plans, supplemented by publicly disclosed cash-pay specialty equipment sessions (e.g., AlterG at $15 per 30-minute session, $120 for a 10-pack), self-pay discounts, no-interest payment plans, and a workers' compensation program offering Functional Capacity Evaluations and work conditioning/hardening billed to carriers. The practice claims 5,000+ lifetime patients, a 4.9/5 Google rating across 293 reviews, and serves a bilingual (English/Spanish) El Paso market via Spanish-language patient forms. No external funding, no institutional investors, and no parent holding company are disclosed — ownership is operator-managed.
